MyFunCards Search

If you visit myfuncards.com, you will be redirected automatically to the MyFunCards Search download page. It is a browser plugin that provides with an instant shortcut to a great variety of e-cards. These cards can be used for birthdays, invitations, greetings and so on. The website also says that it is possible to print the e-greetings cards for free. Nevertheless, despite all the useful things that MyFunCards Search can offer, security experts recommended removing the plugin from your computer ASAP.

It should be emphasized that MyFunCards Search is not a malicious computer infection. Most of the time users install the plugin themselves from the official website at myfuncards.com. The extension may also arrive bundled with freeware applications, such as shareware games or various video players. It means that MyFunCards Search informs the user about the oncoming installation and if you have no intension of using this plugin, you simply need to un-tick a box during the installation. However, a vast number of users often go through the installation negligently and they miss the step that prompts them about MyFunCards Search.

Thus, if you end up installing the full version of this plugin that is compatible with Mozilla Firefox and Internet explorer browsers, your home page and default search engine will be changed to home.mywebsearch.com. That is so, because MyFunCards Search is directly related to My Web Search plugin. The same feature can be applied to another similar browser extension called Daily Bible Guide. Both of these extensions redirect user to their download pages once a user opens the official website. Due to such intrusive behavior, it is possible to label MyFunCards Search a potentially unwanted application.

If your home page is changed to MyWebSearch, then you should be very careful about what you click on when you make use of this search engine. Although it does display a number of reliable search results, there are also sponsored links on the list. MyWebSearch and MyFunCards Search do not review the sponsored links displayed, which means that malicious third parties can exploit this search engine to display search results that lead to corrupted websites, full of malware installers.

That is the main reason why you should remove MyFunCards Search from your PC – this plugin, unwittingly, could be related to malware distribution, that would in the long run compromise your PC. Follow the instructions below to terminate the plugin and restore your browser settings.
